etiquette

Not the manual it interprets many styles seriously, and to apply of the manner, it is wisdom for it is comfortable, and a human being to live a life. The manner is different in a form by a country and a race, culture, the times, various customs of the religion. In addition, there is a difference by sense of values and how to catch at the personal interval. It is other countries in a certain country to be considered to be virtue, and there can be the thing that it seems unpleasantly. For example, it is meeting in courtesy that it seems unpleasantly if I do a belch in front of the eyes of another person in Japan, but do a belch after a meal in China. Alternatively, which it is common I lift a rice bowl in the case of a meal in Japan, and to eat, but what use chopsticks and a spoon, a fork with having put a plate on the dining table adversely in the many foreign countries is common, and is criticized when I eat with tableware when it seems to "be a beggar and is vulgar."

I formalize a feeling to "think of another person" as conduct, and the thing which I made plain is a manner as the form.

I call a manner by a thing of a meal "table manners". that are different as for the manner whether a meal is Western food or Japanese food. There is the table manners which falls under Chinese food and many foreign countries food, but it is not it in a problem only for a case eating in Japan so much. But it is desirable to obey a local manner according to the proverb "When in Rome do as the Romans do" when I eat in foreign countries.
